Cooper could not even keep hold of all the cash, there is no way he kept his bail out rig.

DNA analysis wasn’t a thing back in 1971. But if they had kept the cigarette butts that Cooper had used, the mystery might have been solved years ago.

Bombshell has become the most meaningless word in the English language.

Reminds me of days gone by when people dressed well to travel. Today it’s slippers and pajamas.

I thought Cooper demanded and received 5 parachutes, one of which was used for the escape. It would be stupid to keep it.

So everyone remembers the DB Cooper heist, but until reading this I never heard of an identical crime just 5 months later, with the guy caught.

Still, always been an entertaining and interesting mystery IMO.

Gotta hand it to him.....whoever that guy was, he had a set of stones on him to jump outta that jet in those conditions at night......or he was just a lunatic.

“days gone by when people dressed well to travel”

And every seat had it’s own ashtray. 😏

I can see taking the parachute with him to not leave a trail behind. But at some point, you would like to think he would have disposed of the parachute, possibly piece by piece.

'That rig is literally one in a billion'

I doubt it...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Nearly a decade later, the FBI has begun unofficially looking back into the case after the children of Richard Floyd McCoy II contacted YouTuber Dan Gryder in 2020 with possible evidence.

4 years is not "nearly a decade".

'That rig is literally one in a billion,' he told the outlet.

No.

And Nazi

[V_TWIN]

Far be it from the daily mail to not sensationalize a story......looking for clicks just like this guy is looking for hits on his YT channel.

[Fungi]

Hannity has made it meaningless—one reason I no longer listen to him.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

With just a little plastic surgery, Cooper could have easily become a replacement for Mitch McConnell. Enquiring minds want to know!
